You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is performance anxiety a diagnosable condition?

Yes — when performance anxiety is persistent, disproportionate, and leads to avoidance or significant impairment, it meets criteria for social anxiety disorder or specific phobia. Situational performance anxiety exists on a spectrum from normal stress to clinically significant impairment requiring treatment.

What are the most effective treatments for performance anxiety?

Cognitive behavioral therapy — particularly exposure-based — is the most evidence-supported long-term treatment. For immediate situational relief, beta-blockers like propranolol reduce physical symptoms (racing heart, tremor, voice shaking) without impairing cognition. SSRIs treat underlying social anxiety when it's generalized.

How quickly do beta-blockers work for performance anxiety?

Propranolol reaches peak effect within 1–2 hours and is typically taken 30–60 minutes before a performance event. It blunts the physical manifestations of anxiety — palpitations, tremor, flushing — without sedation or cognitive impairment, allowing performance to proceed more naturally.

Will I become dependent on medication for performances?

Beta-blockers used situationally do not cause psychological dependence. For many people, successful early performances while on medication help rebuild confidence and break the anxiety-performance cycle — reducing the need for medication over time, especially when combined with therapy.

What side effects are associated with performance anxiety treatments?

Propranolol may cause fatigue, mild blood pressure drop, and is contraindicated in asthma and certain cardiac conditions. SSRIs may cause GI symptoms and sexual side effects. CBT produces no physical side effects — initial exposure sessions may temporarily heighten anxiety before improving it. Performance Anxiety visit What to expect from a Performance Anxiety visit
